Praise for the first edition: I cannot praise this

book too highly - it is undoubtedly now the benchmark text in this area,

and is an absolute essential for every audiologist and student. -Graham

Sutton, International Journal of Audiology, Vol. 41, No. 6, 2002One of

the best textbooks I have ever used...written by a researcher with a stellar

reputation [who is also] an expert on the clinical aspects of the

field...packed with information from both a theoretical and practical

perspective...makes difficult concepts comprehensible...from an instructor´s

point of view, it is a sheer delight. -Adrienne Rubenstein, PhD, Professor,

Department of Speech Communication Arts and Sciences, Brooklyn College, New

YorkKey Features: Completely revised to reflect the research and

technological advances of the last decadeNew chapters on directional

microphones and the latest digital signal processing strategies Extensive

coverage of all aspects of open-canal, thin-tube hearing aids Practical

tips, tables, and procedures designed to be pinned on the walls of clinics

Each cross-referenced chapter builds on the previous chaptersHearing Aids,

Second Edition, is a book within a book: Each chapter has a one-page

synopsis that captures the key concepts of each topicThe material that

students most need is contained in marked paragraphs that flow after each

other to form a coherent thin book inside the larger book Intervening

additional paragraphs add satisfying depthWritten, comprehensively

referenced, and extensively reviewed by leaders in the field, this book is

ideal as a core graduate text as well as a standard reference for

clinicians.
